This is the home page of the Streatham Ice Skating Action Group (SISAG). There has been an ice rink in Streatham (South London, UK) since 1931. In the light of the planning application by Tescos to re-develop the site, and Lambeth Council's consultation on the surrounding area, many people were concerned about possibly losing the ice rink, but were not in contact with each other. SISAG was set up to share information and co-ordinate a campaign to preserve ice skating in Streatham. The aims of SISAG are in Aims and Objectives. The group includes representatives from most of the skating clubs that use the rink, as well as adult skaters and parents of child skaters. For more information see Members. Information about the campaign is posted on Campaign News. Information about SISAG email updates, and project updates from Lambeth is available at Project Updates. The Streatham rink is the second oldest in the country. For some historical information see Rink History. The rink is open and events are happening there - see Rink Events. For links to other relevant sites see Links. For details of how to contact the group see Contact SISAG. SISAG is also part of the Stakeholders Group that Lambeth has set up to be consulted about the leisure development. ********Latest ********An update from the "Future Streatham" team at Lambeth on 19th September 2008 says: "Plans to transform leisure facilities in Streatham have taken another step closer. The developer, Tesco, has submitted revisions to the original planning application of 2005 that will mean the whole scheme, including new housing, could be complete a year earlier than planned. Revised plans include the proposal to provide a temporary bus garage. This means the swimming pool will need to close for less time than previously thought, while the new leisure centre could open slightly earlier than planned. Estimates suggest the swimming pool would close in Autumn 2010 and the new leisure centre could open Summer 2011. The existing ice rink will remain open until the new ice rink is ready to use." The documents for the revised planning application (reference 08/03477/FUL ) are available online in the Lambeth Public Access for Planning Database or in Streatham Library. A document giving an overview of the application is here For more details see Campaign News.
